  • Fishing the Tiwi Islands Welcome to Our Islands
    FISHING THE TIWI ISLANDS WELCOME TO OUR ISLANDS The Tiwi Islands are made up of Melville and Bathurst Islands and numerous smaller, adjacent islands. The Vernon Islands also form part of the Tiwi estate. The Tiwi Traditional Owners and custodians of the area welcome you to our islands and ask that you respect and recognise the cultural importance of our land and waters. CODE OF Conduct RESPect THE RIGHts OF TRADITIONAL OWNERS. • Understand and observe all fishing regulations and no fishing zones. Report illegal fishing activities to the FISHWATCH hotline 1800 891 136 or the Tiwi Land Council HQ at Pickataramoor - 08 8970 9373. • Take no more fish than your immediate needs and carefully return excess or unwanted fish into the water unharmed. • Be courteous to all water users and those who belong to local Tiwi communities. • Respect Tiwi cultural ceremonies. This may mean that a particular area is temporarily closed to access. • Do not land ashore without first obtaining a separate Aboriginal land permit, from the Tiwi Land Council and abide by alcohol restrictions for the area. • Respect sacred sites and do not enter any part of the waters containing identified sacred sites unless specifically permitted to do so by the Tiwi Land Council. • Do not clean or dispose of fish within the vicinity of a community. • Prevent pollution and protect wildlife by removing rubbish and dispose of correctly to avoid potentially entrapping birds and other aquatic creatures. TIWI AND VERNON ISLANDS zones PERMIT FREE access The Tiwi have agreed to provide permit free access to the intertidal waters of the Tiwi and the Vernon Islands in the areas as outlined in the attached map.

  • Solar/Diesel Mini Grid Handbook
    POWER AND WATER CORPORATION SOLAR/DIESEL MINI-GRID HANDBOOK This project is supported by the Australian Government through the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA). ARENA is an independent agency established to make renewable energy technologies more affordable and increase the amount used in Australia. ARENA is supportive of all renewable energy technologies and invests along the innovation chain – from research in the laboratory to large scale technology projects, as well as activities to capture and share knowledge. More information is available at www.arena.gov.au. Power and Water Corporation (PWC), through its not-for-profit subsidiary Indigenous Essential Services Pty Ltd (IES), is responsible for the provision of energy, water and wastewater services to 72 nominated remote Indigenous communities and 66 outstations across the Northern Territory (NT). To service these communities, PWC operates over 50 isolated mini-grid power systems, most of which rely on diesel fuel for power generation. Electricity demand in remote NT communities is continuing to increase, as a result of Government infrastructure development, service improvement and housing programs and population growth. At the same time the price of diesel fuel is highly volatile, being affected by global supply constraints and exchange rate movements. An ongoing reliance on diesel fuel for remote power generation represents considerable and increasing financial risk. 3 PWC is committed to delivering least-cost, reliable and safe electricity services to remote Indigenous communities and has long pursued alternative energy source options. PWC recognises the opportunity solar technologies present to reduce the reliance on diesel fuel and drive down operational expenditure. PWC has an over 20 year track record of owning and operating solar/diesel hybrid systems Solar/Diesel Mini-Grid Handbook in remote Indigenous communities.

  • 28 August 2020 to Whom It May Concern, Submission
    28 August 2020 NT Planning Commission GPO Box 1680, DARWIN NT 0801 Via email [email protected] ​ To whom it may concern, Submission - Planning for Gunn Point Peninsula The Keep Top End Coasts Healthy (KTECH) is an alliance of environment groups including the Australian Marine Conservation Society, the Pew Charitable Trusts and the Environment Centre of the Northern Territory. We welcome the opportunity to comment on the Planning for Gunn Peninsula and Glyde Point. Glyde Point is an area of significant cultural importance with high conservation, tourism, fishing and cultural values, including mangroves, coral reefs, rainforest and woodlands. The area is a feeding ground for endangered turtle and dugong species; it is a highly valued recreational fishing area for the Top End community and sustains other fishing areas nearby; and it contains significant cultural sites and areas of ongoing use for the Traditional Owners. Clearing thousands of hectares of land, dredging a port, and installing heavy industry here would destroy what the Top End community holds dear about this place. The NT Government recognised this in October 2007 when, after a sustained period of broad community opposition to a similar massive land clearing and port dredging proposal, it designated the area Public Open Space and protected it from more inappropriate development. Reversing this protection now makes no sense for the environment or for our community. Our submission below focuses on the harmful impacts that this massive industrial development would have for our coasts and the people who love them. This proposal to develop a massive port and industrial estate and a town of 36000 at Gunn Peninsula and Glyde Points will undo over a decade of protection of this area.
